Most mages earn their living by completing guild requests, but Jenny Realight doesn't need to. As the poster girl of Blue Pegasus, she doesn't take on guild tasks yet still receives a base salary as a staff member. Additionally, as a top model for 'Sorcerer Weekly', she frequently gets promotional requests from fashion brands to showcase new trendy outfits. So, Jenny never lacks funds.
Instead of living in the girls' dormitory at Blue Pegasus, she purchased a three-bedroom apartment nearby.
Currently at Jenny's home...
Fresh out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, Jenny sliced a plate of fruit in her open kitchen to enjoy before bed. On the counter, her Magic Net interface was open, showing her ongoing chat with her friend, Mirajane.
Suddenly, her Magic Net connection cut out.
Rather than being frustrated, Jenny smiled in excitement.
"Did Nate push a new update?"
Sure enough, when she reconnected, the version update announcement appeared.
She carefully read through it, particularly interested in the new features.
"So many new things! We can live stream now?"
Closing the announcement, she quickly noticed that the interface had changed.
Instead of going directly to the forum, she was greeted by a [Desktop Interface].
It felt like sitting at a magic workstation, with various magic items spread across the desk, each representing a different feature.
For example, a crystal ball labeled [Magic Net Live] sat in the upper right corner, while a bookshelf filled with books represented the [Library].
In the lower right corner, a cute penguin icon opened [Friends].
Exploring the interface thoroughly, Jenny couldn't help but laugh, amused and pleased with the improvements.
"It's so much more visually appealing. Using Magic Net now feels like sitting at a desk full of magic items. Each item represents a different feature."
What really caught her interest, though, was the live streaming feature.
Jenny clicked the crystal ball and entered the live streaming section. As the update was fresh, no streams were live yet.
"I'll be the first to try this!"
Glancing down, she noticed her bare toes peeking out from under her towel—clearly not ideal for a first stream.
Setting down her fruit knife, she hurried to her bedroom, changed into a red evening gown, and set up in her living room, eager to explore live streaming.
Of course, she made sure to message Nate right away.
…
Upon completing the 0.7 update, Nate finally let out a sigh of relief.
After sitting for so long, he stretched with a satisfied hum.
"All that's left now is finishing the magic app!"
Just as he was about to head next door to have dinner with Lucy, he noticed a notification from his friends. Several messages were waiting.
Levy, Juvia, Erza, Cana, and Jenny…
All from the girls.
Juvia's message was her usual nighttime check-in, complete with a cute photo of herself in a nightgown. Erza had sent a message encouraging him to rest well after his hard work.
He replied to both, taking the time to respond thoughtfully.
By the time he finished, half an hour had passed. Reassured, he moved on to the rest of his messages.
Levy: "Master, this update is amazing! We can even video chat now!"
Levy: "I tried it out with Lucy—it's working great!"
Sigma Male: "What were you talking about?"
Levy: "Our writing! Lucy's working on a novel. I'm really eager to read it, but she wants to finish it first."
Lucy writing a novel? Nate vaguely remembered something like that.
An idea struck him.
Sigma Male: "You've been learning to code for a while now, right? Here's your next assignment."
Levy: "I barely know anything! Wide-eyed.jpg"
Sigma Male: "Don't underestimate yourself! Try building a function where writers can publish their novels on the Magic Net."
Levy: "!!!"
Levy: "Got it, Master! I'll work hard! Determined.jpg"
A diligent apprentice was truly useful.
Nate chuckled and moved on to the next message.
Cana had said she'd been feeling restless lately and wanted a drinking buddy.
Drinking with her, though, was risky...
He replied to ask what was bothering her, but she must have already fallen asleep—likely passed out from drinking—as there was no response.
Finally, he got to Jenny's messages.
Jenny: "Nate, I'm live right now!"
Jenny: "Come check it out!"
Jenny: "I see you're online! If you don't answer, you're a puppy! Side-eye.jpg"
Live? Intrigued, Nate opened up the streaming section, surprised by what he saw.
In just half an hour, there were already over twenty live streams active.
Not only that, but they had a good number of viewers, some streams attracting dozens, while others had over a thousand.
Unsurprisingly, Jenny Realight's stream was the most popular, with over three thousand viewers.
The number was genuine, too; Nate hadn't added any artificial boosters.
"Maybe she's still riding the wave of popularity from when she live-streamed the Oración Seis showdown?"
With curiosity piqued, Nate clicked into Jenny's stream.
Jenny was happily greeting her audience, smiling warmly.
Noticing her background, he saw she was streaming from her living room couch.
Jenny looked stunning on camera, dressed in a red evening gown with a flawless, sophisticated look.
"Good evening, everyone! I'm Jenny Realight, mage of Blue Pegasus," she announced cheerfully.
"If you have any tasks or requests, you can head to the Blue Pegasus section on the Magic Net and submit them online. It's super convenient~"
Promoting her guild in the middle of the night?
Nate chuckled—only Jenny would think to turn her livestream into a guild ad.
After looking at her gift leaderboard, he noticed it was empty.
"Not a single gift? Poor Jenny," he thought. "Is it because people are too stingy with their points?"
Amused, he clicked on the gift tab, selected the most expensive one, and hit send.
Immediately, a dazzling special effect of holy light spread across the screen amid the chat.
[User "Sigma Male" sent a Super Magic Gift: Fairy Law!]
The sudden effect stunned the viewers, and Jenny's eyes went wide with surprise.
"A super magic gift?" she said, delighted. "That's a thousand points!"
The chat erupted.
[That's ten days' worth of sign-in points!]
[You could sell those points for so much!]
[Sigma Male? Nate!?]
It didn't take long for the audience to realize who Sigma Male was.
Suddenly, the screen filled with messages like, "I want one too!" and "Nate, send me one too!"
Amused, Nate thought he might need a side account for future streams.
Seeing Jenny's stunned reaction, he couldn't resist teasing her.
Sigma Male: "Streamer-chan, aren't you going to thank your top fan? laughing.emoji"
